| Hello,
I noticed that Wireshark 1.4 came out today and is the first version to have a 64-bit binary specifically for Snow Leopard.
However, this version still comes with the ChmodBPF startup item for the user to install. As I noted over a year ago in a bug report[1], using startup items in this fashion is deprecated and should be replaced by a launchd plist.
In addition to a plist for this purpose, I also wrote and included an AppleScript to automatically install the plist file, which removes the complicated installation instructions found in the read me file (which OS X doesn't have any default file associations to open, I might add).
I understand that ChmodBPF comes from the libpcap project, which itself has introduced a property list. However, theirs requires you to install an additional tool; mine is self-contained. They also do not provide an installer.
Is there any way for my replacement to be considered for the next release?
Regards, Ryan Govostes
